Portable Gauge for Rapid Inspection, Reverse Engineering



Verisurf Software, Inc., has introduced its new Master3DGage, a portable rapid 3D inspection and reverse engineering solution designed to increase production and improve part quality in machine shops. "The complete hardware/software solution delivers automated in-process inspection right to the shop floor," said a company spokesperson. "Master3DGage quickly verifies manufactured parts directly to 3D CAD models or 2D drawings. When no data or drawings are available, the Master3DGage is a powerful, easy-to-use reverse engineering solution."

"The Master3DGage solution has been designed to close the loop in the digital manufacturing workflow," said Ernie Husted, President of Verisurf. "Manufacturers can extend a 3D model-based workflow from CAD to CAM to Computer Aided Inspection (CAI) and also reverse engineer parts into the 3D model-based process, thus improving quality, saving time and eliminating drawings."

"Master3DGage integrates the latest Hexagon Metrology portable CMM with absolute encoders with Verisurf X advanced 3D model-based inspection and reverse engineering software," said the spokesperson. "The complete solution is an accurate and powerful toolset that is easy to learn, operate and maintain."

The following is the Master3DGage three-step inspection process:

  • Align manufactured part to 3D CAD model by probing part to corresponding alignment targets on 3D CAD model
  • Inspect manufactured part in real time by probing any surface or by following repeatable automated inspection plans
  • Report inspection results in industry standard formats with intelligent GD&T and color deviation maps for clear, practical analysis.

Master3DGage uses the following three steps for reverse engineering:

  • Contact scan or probe 3D complex profile surfaces or prismatic features including planes, cylinders, cones and spheres, or capture 2D features including lines, splines, circles and slots
  • Point cloud and STL mesh editing tools help prepare large data sets for 3D mesh surfacing; STL models can go straight to 3D printing in many cases
  • Transform 3D point clouds and meshes into 3D NURB surfaces or solid models for precision manufacturing.

Master3DGage is available from authorized Master3DGage resellers and serviced by any Hexagon Metrology service center.
